    It's something shameful and really bad. I used to think losing mom is one of the greatest miseries in our life time but i can't imagine how life would be to have a mom treating us that way.
    Sorry for you.

    Hi, (^_^)/ please do not compare your mother to such atrocities, she is a human, fortunately or unfortunately she is the closest you will ever come to true love or god. think about it, maybe she was brought up to think of herself as a slave and maybe has not experienced anything that would make her feel otherwise, you know better but she does not, she probably thinks she is worth nothing, she is much to be pitied and love rather than disgusted upon, for her to treat you in such a manner shows what respect she has of herself in her own eyes, and for her to hate herself so much she herself must have suffered overwhelmingly, she does not know any better because probably she never saw anything better, as humans we believe in only what we have seen since our childhood, so think about it, inspite of all your sufferings maybe she is not to blame it is her upbringing and maybe her lack of a knowledge of a better life.

      well then her need to stereotype girls must have some kind of background, no person who understands life and the people in it could ever stereotype anyone. But you do not have a choice she is your mother and in this world she is the person who gave life to you and you are obligated to love her not matter what she does to you in a way she is your god and she owns you you can not deny that.

    I'm sorry about how your family dynamics worked out & I agree with you on this one: if they weren't prepared to have a girl then why at all try to conceive.

    Also the essence of Hindu tradition is to treat girls like representation of Goddesses; what turned out at your family is unfortunately a twisted & hypocritical version that suited the vast majority in the subcontinent but that's another topic.

    Wow, an insight into a culture, I had no idea, I realize some may be personality and personal demons, but still. Are you Hindi or Muslim?

      Makes me wonder what your mom's childhood was like. I have had some Indian students, and I noticed the difference in how they refered to thier wives, some I invited to my home. It is interesting the difference in culture, land ownership, family relationships, and housing. A really insightful writing, thank you for sharing. Did I make a mistake on Hindi and Hindu?

      Now that you said it, I remember Hindi is a language. It has been over 25 years since I taught those classes. Could be on the camera, between camera, film and processing, pictures were an expensive proposition then, I figure your folks be be a little younger than me, but not much, maybe mid 50's. Was it the typical arranged marriage or did they meet and marry? All of the guys I met were in arranged marriages, the parents held interviews to select the brides and the son's were introduced once the selection was made. In one guys case, he was excited to get back home, his parents had made a selection for him. Never thought how it looked from the womans side, knowing she was not going to have a home of her own, would not be able to create her own process for the family but would have to follow the mother, and move in with the new in-laws.
      You make it sound like your still at home in this text, are you?

      :-), we are all a hodgepodge anymore, travel has gotten so easy.
      In your cultural situation, you will probably get a chuckle from my current situation. My wife has been traveling since October of 2010. Our kids are grown, our obligations have been met, our life is ours once again. She was laid off in December of 08 10 days before Christmas, she got a 6 month severance package which paid her full wage for that period, she was hurt she was laid off. She was out of work 8 days when another division of her company found she had been laid off, called and offered her a job, and she was still able to keep her severance package. A few months later, the lady who was the company trouble shooter for Finance problems decided to retire, they advertised her job and Susie wanted to apply, it would mean a lot of travel, but it was an acknowledgment of her as a professional in her field. We talked, she explained why, I said I would support what ever she wanted to do and me and the cats (we had 6 when she started, we are down to 5, her favorite was 22 years old when she passed away) would be fine we could take care of ourselves while she was gone. Her hopes for travel has not materialized, but professionally she is one of he most sought after people in her company. We talked, and she is tired of being away from home, and had put in her paperwork to retire in February of this year, when her paperwork came back it said June. She was unhappy with this, but called a few hours later, she had had a conference call with her boss, his boss and the corporate comptroller, wanting to know what they could do to get her to stay. Now she is in a dither again :-), on one hand she wants to come home, on the other, the attention knowing she is the best at what she does in a company of thousands, she is the one they fear most of losing.
      I get a few comments on having her gone and me living here alone waiting for her return, even the kids are bewildered. My son is the only one to ask and I told him “When two people marry, you are putting two lives into one, we don't abandon our dreams, they are subjugated by our responsibility to the family. We no longer have that requirement on us, she has dreams she wishes to fulfill, I can understand, I loved the job I had before retirement and we are in a position she can pursue hers”. Our professional fulfillment is just not something we can get from our relationship no matter how much we love each other. Anyhow, I think the son understands, my dad understands, I have one brother-in-law who I may choke for his mouth. All in all, I guess I will have to wait to June, she should have made up her mind to stay or go. I know she sure misses the grand kids, and I tease her with my time with them and the things we do. I am lonely, even with everyone around, 5 cats, 30 cows and 500 hundred acres to farm, I miss her and wish she were home, but I will never demand it of her, she did not of me when roles were reversed.
